Lighten up fellas. I mean, she doesn’t even kiss them. And that’s the most intimate thing.




:lol:
Tbh Kyle Busch is #18, not #8. RCR may or may not use #8 for a while, but I'm guessing Gibbs and NASCAR probably sort of retire #18 until his son or someone with a connection to the Busch family makes it to cup.

Wienies in the wet? Buxton, Bell, and Hinch are going to have a field day.

It isn't a bad reflection on Max just saying he has a lot of work to do if he will be considered an all-time top F1 driver.


To each their own, but I think accomplishments in multiple disciplines is a better measure of greatness than X amount of wins or championships in only one form of motorsport, especially given how car dependent F1 is. I feel like that's what Max is after. Does 5 instead of 4, or 80 instead of 70 really change how great he is?

Put another way, I think Mario Andretti has a cooler resume than Lewis, but that's just me. I'm looking forward to see how far Max is willing to branch out and what types of cars he's willing to try out. I think it's fun.

Of course not, it’s Louisiana. But, when the percentages shift it can at least be better.

I like the idea of just doing it on Thursday night before the 600. It damn sure doesn’t need to be a whole weekend somewhere else.

The teams want to be home for once, not in fricking Dover for an exhibition.

When you lie about something, it makes people less likely to believe the next person.

Crazy how that works.
Questioning Rory's fortitude after the past two years is an ice cold take.

As far as some of the things he says, he's just on the more open and honest side. People bitch when guys don't have a personality. People bitch when guys share too much. People bitch when guys DO have a personality but they decide it's not genuine and they're being performative.

Just a bunch of miserable arse people. You can't win.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on that. The city parish form of government is part of the problem. It’s a relic of a time when the vast majority of people lived in the city of BR. Clearly times have changed. The parish president and the mayor of BR cannot and should not be the same person. It’s a conflict of interest.

Broome proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt and is the main person who caused all this mess to begin with.

Dumbasses on this board who probably weren't even born then are always here to remind me it has never been Baton Rouge because some imaginary boundary says so


City limits aren’t imaginary. Why do you keep shouting “facts” at everyone else and then you spew this emotionally based BS.

You got a lot of nerve calling anyone else a dumbass after some of the crap you’ve posted.

Congrats on the big win. Status quo, just what this community needs.

One of the things I really dislike about racing. It’s not a meritocracy. Whether it’s pay drivers, your dad owns the team, or the obvious dei charity projects, we aren’t seeing the best all the time.


Unfortunately I think this will only get worse as teams don’t have sponsors pumping in the kind of cash they were 20 years ago. They need pay drivers to survive.

Just off the top of my head Hamlin and Larson are both guys from modest backgrounds. Be a shame to see those types slip through the cracks.
Looks like she’s already stimulating growth in the private sector

The big wild card is if ECR and Dodge could somehow come together on the engine. Would get things moving faster. As is, Chevy has two engine shops while Ford and Toyota have one.

If a few teams switch to Dodge, you don’t really need two Chevy engine shops anymore. Hendrick could build Chevy, and ECR could build Dodge. Then you’d have right about 10 teams for each manufacturer.

If CZ really ends up in the 48 that probably locks down the Hendrick spots until Larson retires. 5 years minimum. Kinda creates a log jam for Day and other Chevy guys.

Good for Legge, but one quick trip over to reddit (I know..) tells me it's going to be used as an opportunity to dunk on Larson which is shitty. What she's trying to do and what he was trying to do aren't remotely the same, nor are the stakes. But nobody is going be allowed to say that publicly. It kind of cheapens the whole thing.

I hate that they didn't get a clean shot at in 2024 when he had the car to do something. That was legit exciting.

Not really. He’s got multiple runner ups and he’s right there with the top guys in stage points, so he’s running up front. Hopefully what the 9 did at Texas shows Hendrick is catching up to Toyota at the mile and a halfs.

I’ll say the 5 ends up 5th to start the chase. They’ll have a shot.
Fair enough. I just believe participation will be better than you think. Total? No, myself included. Mine are going to private K-12, but I see the value in my neighbors having a viable public school option. I think time will prove this is worth a “yes” vote from people like me. Guess we’ll find out.
Everybody keeps saying this isn't going to work because it's the same kids, but can't you attend Woodlawn from outside the attendance zone? Idk how it works but isn't that why all the EBR high schools have to play in the select bracket?

The demographics of SG were thrown in the faces of the organizers and they were called racists... but now we're acting like those demographics aren't going to make for a better system? They're favorable to places like Zachary or Gonzales which have decent public schools. Why wouldn't SG?

Are private school kids going to switch? No, very few, if any. But you are absolutely going to see people pick SG over the commute to AP and LP. Again, not all, but some. I really don't see the SG schools looking all that different than AP fairly soon. People on here act like Pville/Dutchtown are lilywhite utopias totally different than SE BR and that's just not the case. It's pretty much the same shite. I've lived in both all my life.
